Chapter 24 Ruthlessly Rubbing the Big Tail (Hanging Pendant Version), The Little Slave's Midnight Rose...
Unbelievable! At three in the morning, Pei Qing was actually playing this kind of game with a shameless fox in her room.
Of course, the feel of this fox tail is really amazing, can I say that?
She stroked it lovingly, but as she stroked it, she noticed that the base of the tail felt a little dry, as if it had been stained with some kind of water.
Ignoring Daweiba's attempts to stop her, Pei Qing reached out and turned on the light. Looking at the scene on the bed, her expression was a half-smile. "You, this is how you came to find me?"
"Playing this high?"
Yudu was wearing a black, tight-fitting bodysuit for a mission. His red hair was messy, and his eyes were as hazy as mist. There was a large hole in the clothes at his tailbone, and his fiery red tail swayed gently from side to side, making him look particularly flamboyant.
He parted his lips slightly, and as he spoke, something shiny inside his mouth kept drawing Pei Qing's attention. "Yes, I just finished my mission and came straight here to find you. Happy, aren't you? Surprised?"
Pei Qing knelt on one knee on the bed, listening to his rambling, and rolled her eyes without any politeness. "How did you find this place?" She reached out and grabbed the man's chin, forcing him to stay still, and pried open his mouth.
A gleaming, diamond-shaped silver ornament was set on the tip of Yudu's tongue. "When did you get this? It's interesting."
Pei Qing lowered her hand, lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket over herself, leaving none for You Du.
"How is it? Isn't it pretty? I specially chose this style."
Youdu flipped over and knelt on Pei Qing, bending extremely low at the waist.
He stuck out his tongue and waved it back and forth in front of her eyes, while his tail swayed in a similar rhythm behind him.
Pei Qing squinted, tilted her head slightly, and accurately caught the dangling silver ornament in her mouth, wedging it between her teeth. She raised her hand and pulled the person forward, their bodies intertwined even more closely.
The two people's eyes were very close, so close that they could feel the slightest tremor when their eyelashes fluttered. Yudu's eyes were closed, and his eyelids were trembling.
At this moment, he didn't want to open his eyes, whether out of shame or some other emotion he dared not think about in detail.
He rushed back to the hospital right after finishing his mission, only to learn from the medical staff that Pei Qing had already completed the discharge procedures and left the hospital long ago.
"That's too reckless," Yudu thought, but he didn't know who he was talking about.
He returned to his lodgings, but Pei Qing was not there. His subordinates investigated and found out that she had gone to the Gu family's manor.
That seemingly weak and delicate young master of the Gu family is truly a menace. Not only did he injure Pei Qing, but he also abducted her.
When he received another mission from the organization, Yudu was unusually excited and happy. He accepted the mission without even asking about the salary in detail, which was quite out of line.
Before leaving, he looked at a high-tech tool that had been confiscated and could communicate with the wearer's nerves, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
He sneaked into the Gu family manor, and almost accidentally triggered the alarm device, which then started working.
Yudu entered Pei Qing's room through the window and then crawled into her bed...
"You just came in like that? And you've been carrying this thing with you the whole way?"
Pei Qing tugged at the fiery red tail. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that such a realistic tail was actually an accessory. She thought it had grown out of Yudu itself.
"You just said that this thing is connected to the nerves, right?" Pei Qing wrapped the tip of the tail around her hand and yanked hard.
Yudu knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his face alternating between pain and pleasure, and two tears involuntarily rolled down his narrow eyes.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Pei Qing grabbed the tail and slowly stroked it to the bottom. With each stroke, Yudu's beautifully shaped butterfly valley would tremble, and the flowing sweat filled the two narrow dimples on its waist.
"No, it doesn't hurt...it's...it's very painful," he stammered, his tongue hovering over his teeth.
“It’s great, it’s really great,” Pei Qing added.
His entire body was spasming, and half of his tongue was sticking out.
Pei Qing stretched out two fingers and picked it up. The slippery, diamond-shaped silver cube was mixed with the soft flesh, and the texture was very subtle. She couldn't help but recall the sound it made when it collided between her lips and teeth.
She tucked it into its proper place, got up, went to the bathroom, grabbed a clean towel, and began drying her hands.
Yudu raised his eyes with difficulty, "Not continuing?"
“I’ve been sleeping poorly lately,” Pei Qing said, seemingly ignoring the question, patting his rear end. She admitted that the tail was fun, but all she wanted right now was a good night’s sleep.
Yudu crawled over and licked her fingers, trying to provoke her, but Pei Qing remained unmoved.
"I came straight here after finishing my mission, and this is how you treat me?" He's being chased away before he's even taken his clothes off? He can't let this trip be in vain!
"What's wrong?" Pei Qing changed into a clean set of pajamas, lay down on the bed leisurely, and closed her eyes to rest.
"You insisted on coming, I didn't force you. If we really want to argue with you, I've already done more than enough by not pursuing the matter of you disturbing my sleep and not reporting you to the Gu family for sneaking in."
"Get out of here."
Yudu peered under the covers, utterly shocked. "No, no, you're still... you can even sleep! I can help you, I—"
He was rambling incoherently. Could there really be such an Alpha in the world? Was she even an Alpha anymore? With such a stunningly beautiful woman right next to him, she did absolutely nothing and just fell asleep?!
Pei Qing opened her eyes speechlessly, "It'll be dead soon. But your lousy job, I don't even want to say anything. That big tooth of yours woke me up and gave me a nightmare."
"Did you drink fake alcohol last time and accidentally get hooked on something? Why don't you try to solve it yourself first? I'm not a doctor, and you should never be afraid to seek medical help for this kind of thing."
After those two knocks, she almost thought she was going to be crippled.
"Also, if you really want to help me, then find some videos and practice at home. These things can't be rushed." Pei Qing patted the butt next to him earnestly. You Du looked depressed. Was he really that bad? He had no mood to continue.
After a long while, he finally remembered that there was something he hadn't had time to say. He opened his mouth and closed it again. Actually, it didn't matter whether he said it or not. They were all old acquaintances. It should be fine, right?
With the noise around her gone, Pei Qing was finally able to get a good night's sleep, which lasted until noon.
She opened the door feeling refreshed and announced, "This is the most comfortable sleep I've had in days!"
Pei Qing went downstairs and greeted the servants who were sweeping, "Good morning, Aunt Zhang."
"Good morning, Ms. Pei. You must be hungry. The kitchen has been preparing food. Please have some fruit first, it will be ready soon."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
“It’s all we should do, Ms. Pei, please have a seat.” The servant brought a fruit platter to her.
Pei Qing had only taken a few bites when the meal was ready.
It was seafood congee, along with her favorite crab roe buns, and a few refreshing side dishes.
The soft, white rice grains and various fresh ingredients are steaming and bubbling in the porridge, making it look very delicious and tempting.
She picked up the spoon and took a bite. The salty and savory aroma exploded in her mouth: plump razor clam meat, chewy octopus tentacles, and many other delicious seafood.
Some of them she didn't even know the names of, a dazzling array mixed together, the aroma filling the air, making it impossible not to eat one bite after another.
"Ms. Pei, did you enjoy your breakfast this morning?" The attendant bowed slightly beside her.
Is that even a question? Didn't you see how quickly she finished a whole bowl?
Pei Qian picked up another crab roe xiaolongbao, took a gentle bite, and the thin skin broke open, releasing golden oil and delicious soup that filled the plate.
She sipped the soup slowly; it was very hot, but so delicious it made you want to swallow your tongue. Pei Qing ate her porridge and steamed bun with great relish.
There were only four steamed buns in the basket, but considering Pei Qing's appetite, three more rows were placed next to them. The entire table of dishes was quickly devoured. She rubbed her stomach and slumped onto the sofa, then picked up the fruit platter next to her and started eating.
She sat downstairs for ages without seeing Gu Zichen and the butler. Unable to contain herself any longer, she waved and asked curiously, "Where did your young master go? And where's the butler?"
"Yes, Ms. Pei, our Gu family's second young master has returned today. He's closest to the young master. The young master was already waiting for him at the door early on," the waiter replied respectfully.
"I see..." Pei Qing didn't care about being called the Second Young Master, but she still felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of someone she didn't know well.
Although she hasn't met him yet and doesn't know if this second young master is easy to get along with, if he isn't, she'd better pack her things and get out of here as soon as possible.
Pei Qing stayed for a while longer, but he still hadn't returned. She thought she should go upstairs to lie down for a while and change her clothes before coming down.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to meet people in her pajamas; it wouldn't be in accordance with the etiquette of wealthy families.
After thinking it over, she decided to go upstairs. Just as she touched the stair railing, Pei Qing heard a noise coming from the doorway.
There was Gu Zichen's voice, the butler's laughter, and another person, who should be the second young master Gu. But the more she listened to the second young master's voice, the more familiar it sounded.
Wait, so his surname is Gu? She only knows one person with that surname, right? No way, it can't really be…
The more he listened, the more familiar it sounded. Pei Qing crouched at the top of the stairs, eagerly anticipating what was to come. "Okay, they're almost at the main entrance now, they'll be coming in soon. The servants have already opened the door."
That height, that build, those eyes, that familiar posture...
They came in.
Pei Qing quickly squatted down. Wait, why was she hiding? She thought and thought but couldn't figure it out, so she briefly hid behind a potted plant.
First, the butler pushed open the door, then Gu Zichen skipped in, followed by a shiny leather shoe stepping in, then a leg, and then those familiar green eyes.
Pei Qing slammed her fist on the ground. It really was him, Gu Fei! She should have realized it sooner; both shared the surname Gu and came from wealthy families…
No, the key point is that she really couldn't have imagined that Gu Zichen, who seemed so cute and lively, could have such a freakish older brother as Gu Fei? No, second brother.
Their Gu family gene is really, really strange.
That makes sense. Gu Fei seems a bit crazy and not quite normal, and Gu Zichen also has some intellectual disabilities and a genetic disease. It seems their family's genes are really not that great.
But the question is, why are they so rich? Thinking of her former job that could have secured her future, Pei Qing felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her bright future as a cleaner was gone just like that.
This is also a good opportunity to ask Gu Fei, the leader, why the energy field issue has not been resolved for so long, and what exactly went wrong.
If she wasn't mistaken, Gu Fei had just returned, meaning that almost half a month had passed since they parted ways that day, and he had only just resolved the matter.
This incident is definitely related to the riots at the energy field; otherwise, how could it be explained that so many things happened at the same time?
Gu Zichen was extremely happy today because his favorite second brother was back, and so was Sister Pei.
With his two favorite people by his side, he was so happy; it was the happiest moment of his life.
Where's Sister Pei? Hasn't she gotten up yet?
But the servant just said she had already eaten. Where is she?
"Ah Chen, where's that guest you mentioned? I haven't seen her. Didn't you say she was a very nice person and wanted to introduce us? Aunt Li, what was that guest's name again?"
"Second Young Master, that guest's name is Pei Qing. I've already checked, and her family background is very clean. She's only been here for a short time."
The butler assumed that Gu Fei was worried about whether Pei Qing's actions were intentional, fearing that the ruthless second young master might do something bad out of concern, so he quickly explained.
“Aunt Li, that’s not what I meant. I just felt that this person’s name was familiar. I’ve always trusted you with your work, otherwise we wouldn’t have dared to entrust A-Cheng to you.”
"I'll thank her properly when she gets here later. It's hard to predict what might have happened to Ah Chen if it weren't for her. I'm so happy that he can be jumping around here now."
Gu Fei rarely spoke so much. There are only three people in this generation of the Gu family. The eldest sister is away from home all year round, so Gu Zichen practically grew up by his side. The two of them have the closest relationship.
Upon his return, he was furious to hear that Gu Zichen had nearly lost his life, and he ruthlessly punished all his subordinates.
Fortunately, there was no real harm done. If Gu Zichen had been injured, his older sister would have skinned him alive when she returned. Their parents had passed away many years ago, and the only thing they entrusted to them was to take good care of their youngest brother.
I heard that Gu Zichen's genetic disease has improved. In a few days, we will send him to the capital planet for proper treatment. Perhaps he can really recover.
Gu Zichen excitedly ran upstairs to call Pei Qing, only to find the room empty. He came downstairs dejectedly, "Sister Pei isn't in the room. Did she leave when she saw we weren't here?"
"No, when we came out, Ms. Pei should still be sleeping. She probably just finished eating and went for a walk in the garden."
"Young Master, don't worry. You've been standing at the door waiting for the Second Young Master for so long, you must be tired. Please sit with the Second Young Master for a while and have some fruit. I'll have someone go find some."
Ms. Pei is always meticulous in her work; she certainly wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.
Gu Zichen sullenly jumped onto the sofa, swinging her legs. Gu Fei smiled gently, wanting to say a few words of comfort, when suddenly, his ears twitched; a faint sound came from the corner of the stairs.
He didn't make a fuss. He knew the security of the Gu family and it was impossible for any criminals to sneak in. So the only possibility was that Ms. Pei who hadn't shown up yet. He wanted to find out who she was.
Gu Fei walked over nimbly, intending to trap him like a turtle in a jar.
Pei Qian angrily plucked the leaves from her hair. Why did these messy things keep falling on her head? It was so annoying.
Someone is coming. It shouldn't be Gu Zichen; he doesn't walk that quietly. It can't be the butler or a servant; they would speak first.
There is only one possibility, and it is the one that Pei Qing least wants to face.
Forget it, let her die. Anyway, she shouldn't be the one who's embarrassed; it should be that perverted Gu Fei!
She shouldn't have hidden in the first place, but now that she's up again, wouldn't that be even worse, making her look...
Pei Qing was still sitting there, conflicted, when Gu Fei walked up to her. Gu Fei's eyes trembled slightly, and he was about to open his mouth to say something.
Before Pei Qian could think, she grabbed him and pulled him in front of her, covering his mouth.
"Don't speak, don't call me that... that's the name."
Gu Fei's eyes were curved, as if she were smiling. Suddenly, she felt something warm and damp brush against her palm.
This pervert didn't hold back at all in front of his younger brother, and Pei Qing glared at him.
"Don't call me that in your house, understand? Don't set a bad example for the children." Pei Qing didn't want her bright and noble image to be ruined.
"Nod your head and I'll let you go."
Gu Fei nodded obediently, staring straight at him. Only then did Pei Qian release his hand. His skin was too pale and delicate, and red marks were left in just a few seconds.
Pei Qing felt a sense of foreboding and quickly raised her hand to try to wipe it off. Seeing that the skin was getting redder and redder from rubbing, Gu Fei grabbed her wrist.
"What are you doing?" Without noticing, Gu Zichen appeared at the stairwell, his eyes looking strange.
Pei Qian quickly withdrew her hand and glared fiercely at Gu Fei. This guy never brought anything good back; he was so annoying. She was still trying to figure out how to explain when Gu Fei spoke up.
"It's nothing, Ah Chen, it's just that I think I got something on my face, this..."
Gu Fei paused for a moment, his eyes filled with undisguised amusement. "This Ms. Pei is reminding me."
"So that's how it is. I thought..." Gu Zichen slowly broke into a smile.
For some reason, he didn't want Pei-jie to be alone with his second brother, so he took Pei-qing's hand and pulled her downstairs.
Gu Fei followed behind the two of them, walking slowly and leisurely.
The three sat down on the sofa, and a servant brought over plates of desserts and fruits, as well as a pot of tea.
Gu Fei poured a few glasses first, handing one to Gu Zichen, then to Pei Qing. (In a blind spot)
He gently rubbed his fingers together a few times, then quickly withdrew them before Pei Qing could glare at him.
Of course, he couldn't escape Pei Qian's piercing gaze. He smiled nonchalantly and picked up his cup of tea.
There seemed to be a strange atmosphere between the two. Gu Zichen sat to one side, and a great sense of threat suddenly surged in his heart as the alarm bell kept ringing.
His expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he quickly composed himself, flashed his signature silly smile, and then plopped down between the two of them.
"Sister Pei, why aren't you talking to Chenchen? Chenchen didn't see you the next morning and missed you so much."
Listening to Gu Zichen's uncharacteristic tone, his voice was filled with a strong sense of asserting his dominance.
Gu Fei's smile slowly faded. He raised an eyebrow in surprise, said nothing, and took another sip of tea.
They've really grown up.
Pei Qing was exhausted, both physically and mentally. If she had known that Gu Fei was Gu Zichen's second brother, she would never have come here, even if she stayed home and took nutritional supplements every day.
Gu Fei is far more troublesome than Gu Zichen; he's a huge problem.
Although their bodies were a perfect match, this person was really crazy, and she always felt that Gu Fei was hiding something from her.
And these are very important matters; before these matters are clarified, Pei Qian does not want to have any further contact with him.
This intuition was strange, even somewhat unbelievable, but Pei Qing still chose to trust her intuition, so it quietly moved a little further away from Gu Fei.
Even though Sister Pei is so close to him now, Gu Zichen just can't feel happy.
He always felt that there was a certain familiarity between the two of them, but this familiarity did not seem like a friendship.
If Pei Qing knew what she was thinking, she would definitely give her a thumbs up and say that they were definitely not friends.
Their relationship can at best be described as "friends," or, to put it more politely, "temporary bed partners."
Pei Qing tried her best to avoid any eye contact with Gu Fei, because whenever she saw his face, she would feel a strange urge to abuse him.
In order to maintain her bright and noble image, Pei Qing decided to stay even further away from him.
Gu Zichen held the tea in his hand for a long time, until it became ice-cold without taking a sip. His heart, too, became as cold as the tea in his hand.
Recently, for some reason, his intelligence has recovered significantly, and he now understands emotions and things that he didn't understand before.
He knew he liked Pei Qing and didn't want her to leave; he only wanted her to stay by his side.
Now, sensing an inexplicable danger, he finally couldn't hold back and asked the question, "Sister Pei, do you know my second brother?"
"A brief encounter."
"I don't know him!"
The two spoke in unison, and Pei Qing closed her eyes in despair.
Gu Fei's expression didn't change. He tugged at Pei Qing's clothes, whispered in her ear, and said innocently, "You didn't tell me to pretend I didn't know you."
"you!"
Pei Qing refused to believe that someone as smart as him couldn't understand what she meant; this guy was doing it on purpose! Honestly, she was so angry she almost laughed.
After a moment of silence, Pei Qian decided she should try to salvage the situation. "Well, actually, I used to work for your second brother's cleaning company, but he was the boss, so I knew him, but he might not have known me..." She explained as much as she could.
"Ha, so that's how it is..." Gu Zichen's smile was somewhat unpleasant, and the darkness in his eyes was almost impossible to suppress. He didn't know her, what a fine way of saying he didn't know her.
He might not know Pei Qing very well, but he knows his second brother very well.
Second Brother simply didn't want to pretend anymore. If he were just an ordinary employee, how could he possibly know him given his personality?
There is definitely something more to their relationship than I'd like to know, something I'd least want to face or accept.
An awkward silence fell between the three of them. Pei Qian felt that she had already explained everything and there was nothing more to say. As for asking about the energy field, she would ask about it when she had time, and there was no need to rush.
Gu Fei and his companion were baffled. Logically, shouldn't such close brothers have a good chat? Could it be that they were the ones getting in his way?
Pei Qing got up and was about to go upstairs when she said, "I'll go upstairs to change my clothes first, um..." She had only stood up halfway when two hands reached out from either side and grabbed her.
"Sister Pei, no rush, let's chat a little longer. Don't you like this little cake? Have a piece."
"Ms. Pei, are you really that unwilling to stay with us? Here, try this, it's delicious."
Gu Zichen held a piece of cake to her right. Gu Fei held a piece of fruit on her left.
Pei Qing was practically playing both sides of the "male" dichotomy, with the word "male" carrying a double meaning.
She didn't know whether to accept or not, so she simply pushed both of their hands away, saying, "I'm full, I'll just have some tea."
What are those two up to? I haven't seen you two chatting at all, you've just been sitting here the whole time, what are you doing?
With his hands still on either side, Gu Fei remained smiling, while Gu Zichen's expression clearly turned sour. Their eyes met in mid-air, neither looking away first.
Gu Fei chuckled softly. His younger brother was still too young.
He calmly put the fruit back on the plate and then invited, "Ms. Pei, since you've finished eating, why don't I accompany you for a walk in the garden and enjoy the scenery?"
Pei Qian was wondering how to extricate herself from this awkward atmosphere when someone offered her a way out, which she quickly accepted, saying, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
The two left one after the other. Gu Zichen's arm was aching. He threw the cake into the trash can with a thud. Why did everyone have to take away his Sister Pei? Even his good second brother!
Wasn't his second brother the one who doted on him the most, always presenting him with all the best things?
But this time, it had to be this person; he wouldn't let anyone take Sister Pei away...
Second brother, just as you have always been willing to indulge me and pamper me before, let's do the same this time.
Gu Zichen watched the two figures disappear into the distance, clutching his clothes tightly, tearing a large hole in his fine silk shirt, but he didn't seem to care at all.
Once they had finally walked far enough, Pei Qing plopped down on a wicker chair in the garden. "When did you get back?"
"It was today, I just got back not long ago."
"What exactly happened with the explosion at the energy field? My job is gone just like that, you need to give me a straight answer." Pei Qing got straight to the point, without a single wasted word.
"At first, I thought the energy field issue was the same as before, but after being recalled by headquarters and participating in its execution, I realized that this time it was completely different from the past."
"How are they different?" Pei Qing asked as she popped a cherry into her mouth.
"This riot originated from the deepest part of the energy field, a place we cannot reach, a place that humans cannot reach, a place only God can reach..."
Seeing that Gu Fei was starting to ramble on again, Pei Qing quickly interrupted him, "Stop, stop, stop. Why did you start preaching again? I don't really want to hear it either. What's the reason? Just tell me, can I still do this job?"
"I don't think it will work. The entire energy field of this planet will have to be sealed off. I don't know when it will be opened, but it definitely won't be possible within a few years."
"Not for at least a few years!" Pei Qing
I listened to him finish speaking with a frown; it seemed there was truly no hope left.
Well, she never intended to stay here long anyway. After Ye Ling came to meet her in a few days, she would prepare to embark on her travel plans to another planet.
Several years? Pei Qing didn't want to stay in this wretched place for even a few months. She couldn't even make any money there, so she figured she might as well leave as soon as possible.
"Owner,"
Gu Fei's sudden words startled Pei Qing, who quickly looked around but no one was passing by.
"What are you doing? I told you not to call me that in your house."
"Don't worry, Ah Chen isn't here."
Gu Fei suddenly stood up, knelt in front of her, and unbuttoned his shirt one button at a time. "I've been wearing this gift from my master very carefully."
"!" Pei Qing's breath hitched. Under the sunlight, the two silver rings shone brightly, trembling with the rise and fall of Gu Fei's chest.
"What are you doing again?" Pei Qing quickly closed his shirt. "Someone's coming soon."
"Is Master worried about me? There's no one here. I already told them not to come near."
"Why should I worry about you? I'm worried about my own reputation. The good image I've worked so hard to maintain is about to be ruined today."
Ignoring his open shirt, Gu Fei got up and went around behind Pei Qing, slowly wrapping his arms around her, their necks entwined, and gently licking her earlobe.
"It is I who have upset you, Master. Please punish me, Master. I am willing to accept the punishment."
"Tsk, what are you saying in public?"
Pei Qian glanced around furtively, then turned her head away to avoid his warm breath.
"If Master is unwilling to punish me, then please give me a reward. During the time I was outside, I missed you terribly..."
"Give me a break, I don't believe that you, Young Master Gu, didn't find someone to comfort you while you were outside." She really didn't believe his nonsense at all.
"If Master doesn't believe me, then please check it carefully." As he spoke, Gu Fei was about to unbuckle his belt.
"You, you, you," Pei Qing quickly grabbed his hand; she was truly speechless.
"I believe you, that's not enough. Hurry up and tie it back."
In her panic, she seemed to touch something strange. "Do you have to carry a gun in your pocket when you get home? Don't you trust your own home?"
Gu Fei is a very despicable person who has made too many enemies. It's normal for him to be afraid of being ambushed and to be prepared at all times.
Gu Fei didn't speak. Of course, he wasn't referring to Mu Cannon; he trusted the Gu family's security measures.
"Hiss, wait,"
This doesn't seem to be a wooden gun, but rather some kind of iron artifact? There are gaps in the middle, and it makes a clattering sound when Gu Fei moves around.
What exactly was it? Pei Qing thought of the big surprise Youdu had given her this morning, and a sudden thought flashed through her mind. Given Gu Fei's twisted nature, it was very likely...
No, I can't think about it anymore, or I'll turn into a pervert.
"Would you like to see, Master?" Gu Fei was about to undo his belt again.
"No, no, no, no, I don't want to at all. Put your hand down right now." Pei Qing waved her hands repeatedly.
"Alright, since Master has said so, then I'll wait until tonight to show it to Master." Gu Fei lowered his hand with a disappointed look.
He's disappointed, it's hilarious... Wait a minute, what did he just say, "We'll show it tonight"?
What do you mean, "night"? She needs to sleep at night, what is there to show?
"Wait a minute, explain yourself clearly." Pei Qing grabbed Gu Fei's tie.
"Since I've been so obedient, shouldn't my master reward me?"
Gu Fei knelt on one knee as the tie was being pulled.
"Listen to me my ass!" Pei Qing wanted to slap him after hearing that.
But she held back, even though she probably didn't have much face left, she still tried her best to maintain it.
“In my courtyard there is a large field of roses that I planted myself, and they are in full bloom. I would like to invite my master tonight to admire them together.”
Instead of giving a direct answer, he extended an invitation.
"This is the reward the slave asked his master for."
Pei Qing looked at him suspiciously, "Well, let me see."
She didn't agree immediately, fearing that Gu Fei might cause some trouble again.
But living in the same building as Gu Zichen, it would be so awkward if he asked her any more questions, and she couldn't just not answer them.
After much thought, it's best to go somewhere else to avoid the limelight for now.
"Thank you, Master."
Gu Zichen texted Pei Qing to ask where they were, saying the banquet was ready.
Pei Qing gave a few perfunctory words and prepared to go back. It was almost dinnertime, and the two of them had talked for so long, it was unbelievable.
"Your brother wants us to go back for dinner, let's go."
"No need to walk back,"
Just as Pei Qing was about to curse him, she saw a hovercar approaching from not far away.
"Take a car back."
"How annoying! Those evil capitalists!" Pei Qing sat in the car and angrily punched the leather seat.
Upon entering, neither of the brothers greeted her. Pei Qing made an excuse to go upstairs to change her clothes; she didn't want to get involved in any disputes within a wealthy family.
After Pei Qing left, the two people downstairs spoke at the same time.
"Second brother, welcome back."
"Achen, you've grown up."
Their eyes held a hint of tension. Gu Fei reached out and poured a cup of tea, pushing it towards Gu Zichen, but Gu Zichen didn't take it.
He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "My second brother has always been the one who loves me the most, so he probably won't compete with me for it, right?"
“Ah Chen, you’ve really grown up, but you’re still too young.”
"Has your mental strength recovered?"
Gu Fei picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.
"Second brother, is this a sign of unwillingness?"
“You’ve grown up. When you were little, I was naturally willing to give in to you because I didn’t need those things.”
“But you’re not a child anymore. You need to know what the Gu family’s operating principles are. The things and status you want can’t be obtained just by saying a few words. You should learn that by now.”
“If you were still a child, I would naturally not compete with you, but there are some people you cannot touch. This is a piece of advice I, as your second brother, am leaving you.”
"There's no need for Second Brother to trouble himself with that."
Gu Zichen's fingers clenched and unclenched, and he couldn't maintain the last trace of a smile on his face.
He's right. He is indeed young and has nothing right now. If he wants to stay by Sister Pei's side, he has to take the initiative to fight for it.
"Second brother, I'll be going to the capital planet for treatment in a few days. You'll agree, right?"
“Of course.” Gu Fei put down his teacup.
Two strikingly similar faces sat facing each other, both wearing smiles with similar curves.
Pei Qing figured the two of them had finished their conversation, so she slowly went downstairs and into the living room.
There was one more person today. Logically, Gu Fei should be sitting in the main seat, but he wasn't; the main seat was empty.
The Gu brothers sat in a staggered arrangement, while the butler stood respectfully to one side.
Since the eldest daughter of the Gu family is away from home most of the year, Gu Fei is the actual person in charge here.
As the housekeeper here, she cannot overstep her bounds. She has watched the three of them grow up together since they were little, so she knows how eccentric and ruthless Gu Fei is.
Pei Qing didn't know where to sit or who to ask, so she silently pulled out a chair from the corner.
"Sister Pei, please sit here."
Gu Zichen reached out and patted the chair next to him.
Gu Fei also extended his hand, "Ms. Pei, why don't you sit here?"
What happened? Did the talks break down? This is really strange.
Pei Qing had decided to ignore both, and firmly sat in the chair she had just chosen, saying, "I'll sit here."
“Okay,” Gu Fei shrugged, then got up and walked to the opposite side of Pei Qing.
Gu Zichen, not to be outdone, plopped down next to Pei Qing.
What are these two up to? Can't we just have a meal in peace?
Whenever Pei Qian moved, the two of them would follow her, until they were both exhausted. Finally, they plopped down in the main seat, and then they settled down, sitting on either side of her.
She then belatedly realized where she was sitting, but no one made a sound.
Whatever, I'll just sit here. At least it'll be a bit quieter.
As the dishes were placed on the table one by one, just as Pei Qing picked up her chopsticks, Gu Fei moved the dish she wanted to eat in front of her.
With another chopstick, Gu Zichen had already placed the food in her bowl.
Pei Qing was exhausted after the meal, watching the two brothers move around and pick at each other's food.
She couldn't take it anymore and slammed down her chopsticks. "Can't you two eat in peace?"
"Or I can leave first and then come to the table after you two have finished eating."
After this ordeal, the two finally settled down.
Pei Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but then she realized she had let her breath off too soon.
Someone's foot, I don't know whose, started to wander down her trouser leg towards the middle.
